Stone Processing: Sawing and Cutting Equipment

Sawing Equipment

The first step in stone processing is sawing, which involves various equipment:

1. Large Slab Sawing Equipment

Mono-wire Saw

• Used for trimming, splitting, and sawing rough blocks.

• Suitable for a small quantity of slabs and special thickness plates.

Frame Saw

• Ideal for marble slab sawing.

• High production efficiency with minimal thickness variation and flatness.

Sand Saw

• Uses steel sand and lime as cutting aids.

• Mainly used for granite slab sawing.

Multi-wire Diamond Bead Saw

• Suitable for both soft and hard stone sawing.

• Overcomes the limitations of traditional sand and frame saws.

Circular Saw

• Can cut slabs and rough materials of any thickness.

• Economical, space-saving, and easy to operate.

• Ideal for small batches and a variety of thicknesses and types of slabs.

Slab Splitting Equipment

• Uses diamond wire to minimize the kerf.

• Suitable for valuable stones such as jade.

2. Rough Material Sawing Equipment

Components like the starting cylinder and balustrade of a spiral staircase are usually made from rough material.

Diamond Wire Saw for Arc Slab

Electronic Bridge Cutter

• Used for splitting rough materials.

Cutting Equipment

Spiral staircase processing requires handling both standard and special-shaped slabs, especially parallelogram special-shaped slabs.

1. Bridge Cutter

• Commonly used for cutting standard and special-shaped slabs.

2. Electronic Bridge Cutter

• Highly automated with high precision and efficiency.

• Ideal for processing special-shaped slabs of spiral staircases.

3. Hand Cranked Machine

• Although relatively backward, it has advantages in processing small specifications.

• Inexpensive and flexible to operate.

4. Water Jet Cutter

• Uses high-pressure water jets for cutting complex geometric shapes.

• High efficiency and precision, suitable for various special-shaped slabs of spiral staircases.

The correct selection and use of the above equipment are crucial for the efficiency and quality of stone processing.
